“…This result can be seen in table two, where farmers use many pesticides to cultivate garlic and shallots. Farmers feel they can take action to handle pests and diseases on their land and feel that they have no difficulty in controlling these pests (Suswadi & Prasetyo, 2022). Human resources who know pest control make them not concerned about intercropping or not, so that intercropping decisions are not affected by pest control choices due to changes in micro seasons.…”

Onion farmers in Tawangmangu are currently experiencing difficulties due to changes in rainfall. As a result, they are planting garlic and then intercropping with shallots. This decision will have a direct impact on farmers' income. This study aims to determine the effect of farmers' decisions in intercropping garlic with shallots on farmers' income in the Tawangmangu District. This research was conducted in Tawangmangu District with a simple random sampling method to determine the sample size of 49 respondents. The method of data analysis used a two-stage least square. The decision to intercrop shallot and garlic does not affect farmers' income. The age of the farmer influences the decision to do intercropping. A farmer's income is influenced by land area and the use of Phonska fertilizer. To increase farmers' income, using fertilizers with similar elements must be paid more attention to when fertilizing plants.

“…Without a healthy soil, the crop production is dependent on chemical fertilizers. Today, after the COVID-19 pandemic and within the war in Ukraine, humankind has found that the need to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and to protect the health of the soils is also a strategy to achieve safe food production [54]. We propose to extend the use of cover crops in vineyards to reduce soil losses.…”

The effectiveness of a seeded cover crop to minimize soil nutrient losses was evaluated in a rainfed vineyard. Two sediment tanks were installed (ST2: drainage area with high ground cover (GC: 82%) and ST3: very high GC (89%)) and samples from 26 time-integrated periods (TIP) were collected over 15 months. The average soil nutrient content was previously estimated in the drainage areas of ST2 (Ntotal: 0.967 mg/g; Pava: 0.411 mg/g; Kava: 1.762 mg/g) and ST3 (Ntotal: 0.711 mg/g; Pava: 0.437 mg/g; Kava: 1.856 mg/g). The sediment nutrient concentrations and the sediment/soil enrichment ratios were comparable between ST2 and ST3, but the total loss of nutrients clearly differed among areas. The loss of nutrients in the area with lower GC (379.7 g N-P-K/ha/yr) was 8.3 times higher than in the area with higher GC (45.8 g N-P-K/ha/yr), and this pattern remained during the months with low, medium and high GC: 91.9, 2.1 and 2.1 g N-P-K/ha/month in ST2 and 6.9, 3.0 and 3.5 g N-P-K/ha/month in ST3. The benefits of greater GC promote the environmental and agronomic sustainability by the functions of the cover crop, favoring healthy soils and a reduction in the investment of the farmers in fertilizers. This is very relevant in a postpandemic world under the threat of the war in Ukraine, the lack of fertilizers and the need for a local production of food.

“…Factors that influence the behavior of farmers in the use of pesticides are education and knowledge of farmers about the agricultural system [23]. Excessive use of liquid pesticides and not in accordance with recommendations can result in residues on shallots that can harm consumers [24].…”

Shallots are suitable for farming in the lowlands, however farmers in Magetan Regency mostly plant shallots in the highlands. Shallots farming in the highlands to require special treatment in the production process to affect the use of production factors. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the production and efficiency of using production factors in shallot farming. Determination of the research location purposively considered Magetan Regency as a shallot farming area in both the highlands and lowlands. Twenty-five farmers in the highlands and 25 in the lowlands were selected using a simple random sampling method. The analysis technique employed the Cobb-Douglass production function. The efficiency of production factors was measured based on the comparison between the marginal value product and the input price. The results revealed that the production factors of liquid pesticides, labor, and adhesives significantly influenced the production of shallots in both the lowlands and highlands. The use of liquid pesticides was inefficient, and the workforce has not been efficient. Therefore, farmers should reduce liquid pesticides and increase the workforce to maximize profits from shallot farming.
